What's your most obscure binding?

46 comments

No way, you met json irl?
- LMFAO! Perfect.

I typically don't know what I'm doing, so my favorite binding is :q!

I guess the obvious one is "holding spacebar for control key"
- Look, my setup works for me. Can you please just add an option to reenable spacebar heating?
- That's horrifying

Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.
- this is definitely obscure

I was curious what the original said: https://thejenkinscomic.wordpress.com/2020/05/06/memory/
- The original sucks ngl
- Wow, I think we're still ahead.
- how is a vim joke better then the original lmao
- The Jenkins is epic

I've mapped jk to escape because it's rare and it's separate fingers in home row, so it's faster than e.g. jj.
- I mapped kj instead. Can't remember why, but I like it that way.
  
  Unfortunately both of those are used in common English or computer words. The only letter pairs not used are: bq, bx, cf, cj, dx, fq, fx, fz, hx, jb, jc, jf, jg, jq, jv, jx, jz, kq, kz, mx, px, qc, qd, qg, qh, qj, qk, ql, qm, qn, qp, qq, qr, qt, qv, qx, qy, qz, sx, tx, vb, vc, vf, vj, vm, vq, vw, vx, wq, wx, xj, zx.
  Personally I have mappings based on <CR>, and press it twice to get a real newline.

All hail nano

That's some shitty, lossy compression.
- Nah man, that is some crispy jpeg memes
- I want to solve: What is .jpg?

good meme

I have \yeet bound to ggdG (backslash being my leader key)
Edit: Detail about leader. I'd add the proper binding but markdown's being weird.
- so you use 5 keystrokes to get out of typing 4.
  
  Technically yes. However I figured it'd be a funny one to have in my vimrc.
  Also capital G requires a shift press, so not sure how many keystrokes that counts as.

M-x dunnet
Runs Colossal Cave Adventure in emacs. "YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING."
- What?!
  And to think I was going to take an early night...

Well, you see, I spilled coffee on my mechanical keyboard, permanently breaking the 2/@ key, so I mapped it to pause/break..

I map caps lock to esc with setxkbmap. Much more fun ergonomically.
- I use caps for switching languages instead of alt+shift or super+space.
  Very efficient thing when you need to use your native language and some code in one text message or code block.
- Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier
  
  It works great in i3config but in gnome I have problems with it.

Ctrl+a, Ctrl+c, alt-tab, Ctrl+z, enter.
"This is mine now."
- I have a Logitech G600 and have all those and more on the side buttons, lol.

Not a Vim user, but no matter what software I'm using, I might think about its keybindings like the first week of getting familiar with it; at one point they become muscle memory and I stop thinking about them.
- Yep. The primary advantage of keyboard control. It stops being something you engage your conscious brain for.

I like the one of Isaac

Me with my dwm key binds.

alt+z for saving, I guess?

i use vim tips and still cant remember names, what gives?

This really had me laugh 😂😂

Ctrl+D = Alt+F4 in CMD.exe so that I can exit from that black box in the way the good lord intended.
